Our commitments to sustainable tourism
Since 2010, cocooning, eco-responsible at the heart of history
Our commitments to eco-tourism are aimed at preserving the environment and highlighting the cultural and natural heritage of Brittany.
Over the years, our approach and our actions have evolved.
This is why in 2022, we have decided to go further. We are currently working on obtaining the European sustainable tourism label. You know, this beautiful little green leaf with white stars, symbol and guarantee for a more sustainable planet... It still requires some adaptations and improvements, but we are working on it.
